Alyse 0 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Is the Sonic on a high theft list? Not sure if an alarm is worth it or not. Link to post Share on other sites
Sparktacus 10 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 (you meant Spark, right?) I just had this conversation with my wife. I say "Please steal my car!" LOL. Ok, if you have a base LS as I do, only the rear hatch is power lock. No alarm, no power locks on the doors, no problem. If i may play devil's advocate for a moment, I pity the poor jerk who does try and steal my car, why? because of OnStar. As we do not have PK2 (chipped) keys, but supposedly all new Chevys have the stolen vehicle slowdown feature - One call to Onstar from my cell and the fun begins. Also, I bought a manual drive, not too many thieves would be enticed anyways, but for the one lowly loser, well, I wish I could mount a dash-cam to video his reaction when the Onstar kicks in and the cops arrive.

Greg_E 211 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 We do have chipped keys, and that chip is GIGANTIC inside the plastic part. Link to post Share on other sites
Sparktacus 10 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 We do have chipped keys, and that chip is GIGANTIC inside the plastic part. Thats good to know if thats right. My parts guy said as there was no typical PK marking on the key shaft he thought it was not chipped. That sweetens the deal then. If someone tries to hotwire the car, the fuel system is shut down anyways, MUHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 On the LS keys, unscrew the single screw and open the plastic, you'll see this gigantic chip on the side. That said, I haven't had an extra lock key made to try in the ignition, but it is something I want to do to get rid of the huge key when doing certain activities. I would mean hiding the real key somewhere inside the car, but I'll deal with that when I do it. Link to post Share on other sites
Trancer07 30 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 We do have chipped keys, and that chip is GIGANTIC inside the plastic part. So that's why the damn base LS key is so big! Going from my cavalier's key which was this tiny little thing to the big plastic topper on the new one makes a big difference when I put my key ring in my pocket. Link to post Share on other sites

Jopar_X 7 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I just bought a manual transmission. Most car thieves out here have no idea how to start one, let alone drive one. lol Link to post Share on other sites
tommyspark 24 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If I was a car thief, the Spark would be very low on my "want to steal" list. If you're going to risk going to prison, why not make it worth it right? Steal a Porsche or something lol Link to post Share on other sites
Hobo1 8 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Some people just like the thrill of stealing and the rush of the joyride.... Link to post Share on other sites
